The New Year Is a Good Time for Freelancers to Review Their Freelancing Business

Posted January 10, 2013 in How-To

Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet?

Me either. In fact, I’m actually not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions, but I am a huge fan of business planning and goal setting.

The fact is that for many people, their New Year’s resolutions are already broken by March.

This year, instead of making a list of resolutions that you may or may not keep, why not review your freelancing business and set some realistic goals instead?

In this post, I share some specific aspects of your freelancing business for you to review. You’re also invited to share your own approach to New Year’s resolutions at the end of the post.

Posted November 19, 2012 in Getting Started, How-To

Webinars, interactive training, videos, coaching, etc. It seems like the Internet is filled with training programs-many of them targeted at freelancers.

As a freelancer, it can be difficult to know what to do about all of the online opportunities available. While some can be eliminated right away, most of them sound really good and beneficial. But no freelancer can afford to take part in all of them.

If you’re a lifelong learner like me, you’re probably also wondering how to get the most benefit from online training.

In this post, I’ll share some of the criteria that I use to decide whether to invest in a training program.

5 More Reasons to Try WordPress

Posted November 7, 2012 in Business, How-To, Managing Clients, Marketing, Productivity

Last month we talked about WordPress and why the demand for WordPress websites is only going to grow. That’s why it’s so important to get started now and be at the front of this trend.

Today, I’d like to have Conrad Feagin – the founder of LearnWebDevelopment.com – explain why WordPress is so impressive and popular. But, first I have an announcement…

LearnWebDevelopment.com’s last WordPress Bootcamp was a huge success and sold out well before the deadline. Because of this they have announced another WordPress Bootcamp starting in December. Yes, it’s almost a month away, but there are three BIG benefits to registering now:

• 1. You’ll save $200 on early bird pricing (that’s over half off)!
• 2. You’ll get “Building Websites in WordPress” immediately so you can get started today.
• 3. You’ll secure your spot before they’re all gone.
